It's been out for a bit. I thought there's already some post on it, but can't find it with a manual search in the #movies tag, and the search function seemingly on the fritz. All I get is "You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. "
Anywho, going to re-watch the original before seeing, but I don't recognize some scenes from the trailer. A bit fuzzy on the minute plot details. Regardless, I'm sure it'll be phenomenal vfx-wise, if not plot-wise. I've been hyped for Scarlett to play this role for a while. Conversely, a little disappointed the Bebop live-action with Reeves is looking shaky. Makes sense that'll a younger lad may fit the bill better, but I digress.
Here's the promised trailer:
Here's a "Shelling Sequence Clip" where the MC is made that I found on IGN:
Anime should not be remade for white people.
Full stop.
Not Akira, Not Cowboy Bepop, not Ghost in the Shell, not Avatar, not Speed Racer, not Robotech.
You don't recognize a lot of the scenes because the whole plot has changed - Ghost in the Shell was about a rogue AI and the work/life balance. This is self-discovery with bullet time.
